Kieltyka.Pdf The ups and downs of the Great Chain of Being: the case of canine zoosemy in the history of English Robert Kiełtyka and Grzegorz A. Kleparski Cognitive semanticists argue that since language is systematically grounded in human cognition, the phenomenon of semantic change is to be viewed as a cognitively motivated process explicable in terms of metaphor, metonymy and other figurative language use. Indeed, such cognitive mechanisms as analogy and association are proved to be playing a crucial role in the emergence of novel meanings in that speakers tend to modify conventional meanings by resorting to various cognitive processes in order to meet changing communicative and cognitive demands.1 1. Introduction The main purpose of this paper is to formulate some evidence in favour of the view that semantic change is a cognitively motivated process. The idea that semantic shifts seem to have cognitive roots is clearly advocated by, among others, Kardela and Kleparski (1990), Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk (1992), Kleparski (1996, 1997), Györi (2002) and Grygiel (2004). It has been postulated in linguistic literature (see, for example, Györi (2002: 123)), that semantic change is accountable in terms of the conventionalisation of context-dependent modification of usage and its constraints are delimited by such general cognitive mechanisms as analogy, association and categorisation. This paper examines selected cases of zoosemy (animal metaphor) pertaining to the conceptual macrocategory HUMAN BEING and seeks the basis for their explanation in the operation of Conceptual Metaphor viewed as one of the causes of meaning construction and alteration. True enough, cognitive linguistics treats metaphor as a central issue in language analysis. Dwelling upon Reddy’s (1979) concept of conduit metaphor, Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Lakoff and Turner (1989) put forward a theory where metaphor is viewed as a much broader phenomenon than generally conceived. The theory, referred to as Conceptual Metaphor Theory (henceforth CMT), treats metaphor as a conceptual rather than a purely linguistic entity which involves systematic projection between two mental representations (conceptual domains). Thus, CMT defines metaphor as a strictly directional phenomenon in which analyses are stated in terms of entrenched conceptual relationships. Here, the mechanism of zoosemy is viewed as one involving stable and systematic relationships between two conceptual domains in that particular elements of the source and target domains are highlighted through a combination of the source language used and the relevant conceptual metaphor, a mapping which prompts us how elements in the two domains line up with each other. An attempt will be made to show that the so-called Great Chain of Being Metaphor seems to provide some explanation of why and how in natural languages animal names are widely employed to designate human characteristics, and conversely, 24 why animals in different languages are attributed basic human character traits. The comprehension of human attributes and behaviour through animal attributes and behaviour results from the application of the highly general conceptual metaphor, that is <HUMANS ARE ANIMALS> (see, for example, Kleparski (1996), Kövecses (1997) and Martsa (2001), e.g.: (1) <GLUTTONOUS PEOPLE ARE PIGS> <COURAGEOUS PEOPLE ARE LIONS> <INCONSIDERATE/SELFISH PEOPLE ARE HOGS> Notice that the metaphors we are concerned with here are, in fact, mappings from the source domain of instinctual attributes and behaviour onto the target domain of human character traits. As we hope to be able to show, the correspondences between domains are not random or exceptional but largely systematic. Therefore, metaphorical structure and resultant semantic change is also largely systematic. Finally, we wish to stress that this paper offers merely a pilot study designed to signal and delineate the scope of a larger field research that is in progress.2 Thus, the aim here is to examine selected data, in particular those metaphors that are related to the conceptual category DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. Specifically, it will be argued that the conceptual category CANIDAE3 – that may be viewed as hyponimically embedded in the conceptual category ANIMALS - is particularly abundant in zoosemic developments targeted at the conceptual category HUMAN BEING where evaluative developments and – in particular – pejoration of meaning is an extremely frequent semantic mechanism.4 The data examined below originate from Middle English and Early Modern English (henceforth ME/EME)5 and, in various cases, the lexical items analysed continue their metaphorical development till present day English. 2. The Great Chain of Being Metaphor In their analysis of proverbs, Lakoff and Turner (1989) employ the concept of the Great Chain of Being whose theoretical bases were developed already by the ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle (cf. Nisbet (1982: 35)), and which has not only survived into our times but, more importantly, its mechanisms are reflected in various evolutionary theories and, recently, also in semantic investigations. The basic Great Chain is defined by attributes and behaviours, arranged in a hierarchy. The extended version of The Great Chain of Being, employed in axiological semantics, can be represented schematically in the following manner (see Krzeszowski (1997: 68)): (2) GOD HUMANS ANIMALS PLANTS INORGANIC THINGS Given the five levels of the Great Chain, and the two possible directions of mapping, i.e. upward and downward, the number of all possible metaphors coherent 25 with the Great Chain is altogether twenty (see Krzeszowski (1997: 161)). Ten of these metaphors involve upward mapping, in which the source domain occupies a lower position on the Great Chain than the target domain. The other ten involve downward mapping, in which the source domain occupies a higher position on the Great Chain than the target domain. Krzeszowski (1997: 161) formulates the following set of metaphors: 1. <GOD IS A HUMAN BEING>; 2. <GOD IS AN ANIMAL>; 3. <GOD IS A PLANT>; 4. <GOD IS A THING>; 5. <A HUMAN BEING IS AN ANIMAL>; 6. <A HUMAN BEING IS A PLANT>; 7. <A HUMAN BEING IS A THING>; 8. <AN ANIMAL IS A PLANT>; 9. <AN ANIMAL IS A THING>; 10. <A PLANT IS A THING>; 11. <A THING IS A PLANT>; 12. <A THING IS AN ANIMAL>; 13. <A THING IS A HUMAN BEING>; 14. <A THING IS (A) GOD>; 15. <A PLANT IS AN ANIMAL>; 16. <A PLANT IS A HUMAN BEING>; 17. <A PLANT IS (A) GOD>; 18. <AN ANIMAL IS A HUMAN BEING>; 19. <AN ANIMAL IS (A) GOD>; 20. <A HUMAN BEING IS (A) GOD>. As argued by Krzeszowski (1997) not all of these metaphors are equally productive, and some may prove to be very hard, if not impossible to materialise. In what follows we will be interested in two particular metaphors, namely <A HUMAN BEING IS AN ANIMAL> and <AN ANIMAL IS A HUMAN BEING>. Thus an attempt will be made to show that features can be transferred from a higher level of the Chain to a lower one, e.g. a faithful, friendly dog, or from a lower level to a higher one, e.g. This man is a pig (applied, usually contemptuously or opprobriously, to a person). Lakoff and Turner (1989: 172) point out that the Great Chain of Being Metaphor is “[…] a tool of great power and scope because […] it allows us to comprehend general human character traits in terms of well-understood nonhuman attributes; and, conversely, it allows us to comprehend less well-understood aspects of the nature of animals and objects in terms of better-understood human characteristics.” Specifically, Lakoff and Turner make use of the mechanism of the Great Chain of Being to explore the meaning of such metaphors as Achilles is a lion or Man is a wolf, i.e. metaphors of the form <A is a B> where B is a concept characterised by a metaphorical schema. In the metaphor Achilles is a lion certain instinctive traits of a lion are perceived metaphorically in terms of human character traits, such as courage.6 The authors claim that the expression Achilles is a lion helps us understand the character of Achilles in terms of a certain instinctive trait of lions, a trait which is already “[…] metaphorically understood in terms of a character trait of humans (1989: 195).” Interestingly, to use Lakoff and Turner’s (1989: 195) terminology, “[…] understanding the character of Achilles in terms of the instinct of the lion, asks us to understand the steadfastness of Achilles’ courage in terms of the rigidity of animal instinct.” The authors argue that the mechanism by which this works is the Great Chain of Being Metaphor. In the case at hand, steadfastness, being of higher-order character, is understood in terms of rigidity of lower-order instinct. Below we shall be dealing with the analysis of the semantics of dog and other related lexical items from both symbolical, historical and metaphorical perspective. 26 3. The semantics of canines According to Jaffe’s (2001) On-Line Dictionary of Symbolism the dog is the first domesticated animal, and is symbolically associated with loyalty and vigilance, often acting as guardian and protector. Very frequently, dogs are portrayed as guides and companions, hence the associated notion of ‘man's best friend.’ Moreover, they are often associated with art and cunning, as they can be trained to do the greatest variety of jobs. Yet, while rarely becoming negative symbols, they do have some unfavourable characteristics. They can be referred to as depraved animals, used as objects of epithets and curses cast at enemies. For example, the comparative phrase Sick as a dog comes from the notion that they return to their vomit. They can even be viewed as a source of hatred as the quotation from the Bible suggests: dogs, and sorcery, and whoremongers outside New Jerusalem.7 As noted by Krzeszowski (1997: 80) “[…] people have a great tendency to ascribe higher values to various things and concepts at lower levels on the Great Chain of Being.” It seems understandable that, when conceptualising and valuating, we tend to perceive reality in terms of the human level.

    Sociological Forum, 2020 DOI: 10.1111/socf.12643 © 2020 Eastern Sociological Society The Changing Valuation of Dogs1 Dustin S. Stoltz,2 Justin Van Ness,3 and Mette Evelyn Bjerre4 In recent decades, the United States has witnessed profound changes in the sociocultural valuation of dogs, variously described as humanization, sentimentalization, or sacralization. A broad look at this “sacraliza- tion” of dogs in the United States reveals that this changing valuation has altered dogs’ place within economic processes. In particular, these changes parallel Viviana Zelizer’s work on the changing valuation of children a century ago. In this article, we further specify Zelizer’s insights by arguing that these accompanying economic transformations are best understood as shifting of a dogs’ place within budgetary units: from objects for human consumption to fellow actors humans consume with and around. KEYWORDS: animals; budgetary units; relational work; consumption; economic sociology; human– nonhuman interaction. INTRODUCTION “Dogs Are People Too” reads the title of The New York Times opinion piece by neuroscientist Gregory Berns, author of “How Dogs Love Us,” and more recently, “What It’s Like to Be a Dog.” Based on fMRI data demonstrating functional homology between humans’ and dogs’ brains, Bern states, if we “granted dogs rights of personhood...Puppy mills, laboratory dogs and dog racing would be banned for violating the basic right of self-determination of a person.” Is this new neuroscien- tific evidence sufficient to foment such legal and institutional changes? Bern answers, “I suspect that society is many years away from considering dogs as persons.” Since as early as the 1980s, several scholars noted a trend in our relationship to pets in general, and dogs in particular (e.g., Pallotta 2019; Sanders 2010).
